Amazon Was Web 1
Amazon was a bookstore. But it was not Barnes & Noble digitized. You still got physical books in the mail. What was amazing was the largeness of the offering that simply was not possible in any physical store. This was new. Amazon was launched at a time when you had to be patient and a photo would download. Now Amazon is an everything store. It even sells movies. In fact, it has become a behemoth to disrupt. Web 3 wants to disrupt Amazon, and Google, and Facebook, and Microsoft, and Apple. Ye...

Building Credit History For Everybody
One amazing thing Alibaba did was it built credit histories for the average Chinese consumer who had no credit history at all in the American sense of the term, and that was not going to change anytime soon. Alibaba used a person’s e-commerce activities on its very website to vouch for their creditworthiness. And it has worked like magic. I want to take that spirit to the lowest income brackets on the planet. And I also want to build credit histories for people who might have social capital a...

A Next-Generation Social Network
No, not a Facebook killer. That is not what I have in mind. Facebook does not need help. https://twitter.com/paramendra/status/1545819887746093062 I did democracy movement work for Nepal before Facebook. I admired what Facebook and Twitter did for Egypt, but then they did not step in to help build the institutions of democracy in the aftermath. The iPhone could not have been built a decade before it was. Web 3 makes possible what I have in mind. I want to approach the US government like defen...

The Boldest Of Them All: Afore
To go from Zero To One is where the action is. A rocket does not start as a drone, or a helicopter, it starts as a rocket. A rocket pre-launch is still a rocket. It just is not moving yet. But the motion is all there, bottled up, just waiting to come out. Afore gets it. Afore has polished it. It leads in the only space that really matters. Not for the faint of heart to get geography agnostic. Afore has a standard sheet. And so you can trust. The details are not an art in the hand of the negot...
